Chapter 42 Sweetness
Author: sin9999
The water and fire sticks hit him mercilessly, and even though Tie Yin had a strong body, he still groaned.
The normal five punishments in this dynasty were flogging within fifty strokes, rod within one hundred strokes, forced labor as a slave, exile to a different place, and death by hanging.
Of course, this is a normal punishment. As for special interrogations and torture during the Wu Zetian period, there are many. Zhang Jue, an official from the Tang Gaozong to Tang Xuanzong period, recorded in Chao Ye Qian Zai that the jade girl climbed the ladder and the phoenix basked its wings. , immortals offering fruits, etc. are enough to make people miserable.
Zhang Wei also authored "Dragon Muscle and Phoenix Marrow Judgment", which is a summary of the judgments of various functional departments in the Tang Dynasty and is of great reference value.
Although the cruel official Lai Junchen was famous, he used many kinds of tortures, but many of them were invented by the supervisory censor Li Quan.
Li Tai's original intention was not to kill Tie Yin and others, and the following questions would not deliberately take human lives to establish authority.
A real torturer knows how many times a person can be beaten.
If you really want to take Tieyin's life, ten blows are enough.
"injustice!"
Tie Yin was also stubborn. Every time he received a stick, he cried out that he was wronged.
Li Tai sneered: "You acted as a traitor and threatened the imperial officials. Even if you were to beat them all to death, you would still deserve it."
A lazy voice came from outside the court: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Whoever did it should only be blamed himself and not others. Qingque, do you think so?"
Li Tai stood up and said: "It turns out that the crown prince has come to the Yongzhou Yamen. However, Your Highness, in the court hall, there are only monarchs and ministers, not brothers."
"As for how to pronounce the sentence in Yongzhou, it is my business. Please don't overstep your authority. If the prince has any objection to the result of my trial, you can ask the Ministry of Punishment for a review. Anyway, execution requires five memorials to overturn it, right?"
Speaking of the Five Memorials, we have to mention Li Shimin’s dark history.
Zhang Yungu, the Prime Minister of Dali, was a native of Huanshui, Xiangzhou.
Because Li Xiaode, a native of Hanoi, had always been crazy and often said some shocking things, which may have involved changing dynasties, he was escorted to Dali Prison.
Ahem, what if this is also a time-travelling weapon?
Zhang Yungu inspected the prison and believed that Li Xiaode was insane and the court should not hold him accountable.
Yushitai served as the censor for Wanji, and used this to impeach Zhang Yungu for favoritism. He said that Zhang Yungu's family was in Xiangzhou, and Li Houde, Li Xiaode's brother, was the governor in Xiangzhou. There must be some love affair involved.
It is estimated that Zhang Yungu may have acted inappropriately, which caused Li Shimin to be furious and ordered him to be executed in Dongshi.
The East Market and the West Market not only bear the important responsibility of the market, but also serve as execution sites from time to time.
The professional term "beheading and abandoning the market" refers to the East and West markets.
Then one day Li Shimin may have discovered that Zhang Yungu was wrongly accused. Feeling guilty, he ordered that all executions from now on should be repeated five times to avoid unjust murder.
But in fact, those who deserved to be killed unjustly were still killed unjustly?
Li Tai's words are indeed tough. The prince is not able to do anything on his own one-third of an acre of land!
If the chief officer is suppressed by someone in his own yamen, these subordinates will not be able to lift their heads up in the future!
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai with a half-smile but not a smile: "Here is the governor of Yongzhou. He has such great official power."
Li Taipi replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness took the trouble to come to Yongzhou Yamen from the East Palace, but it was just for the sake of a mere knight-errant, how benevolent he is."
Li Chengqian's smile froze.
This is easy to say or not. What did the prince of the dynasty want to do when he protected the ranger?
Many middle- and lower-level civil servants turned to Li Tai, and if they were allowed to ferment, Li Chengqian's reputation would become terrible again.
Returning to the East Palace, he sat down in the Li main hall and waved away the palace maids and the eunuchs in the prince's inner palace (improper eunuchs). Li Chengqian sighed to a man with a tiger's back and a wasp's waist beside him: "I can't do anything about Tieyin.
Come forward again, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
The man bowed slightly, crossed his hands and said, "Zhang Shizheng thanks His Highness for your friendship."
Zhang Shizheng and Hegan Chengji were knights recruited by Li Chengqian from outside.
The Xianbei surname He Qian should be "Qian" if converted to a Han surname. Is this probably the reason why He Qian Chengji refused to use this Han surname?
Of course, they also work as assassins. After all, life is difficult, and they have to work part-time to live better.
But the skills of these two part-time workers are a bit trendy.
Zhang Shizheng once followed Li Tai for seven days, planning to secretly take action to teach Li Tai a lesson, but he was taught a lesson by the Deputy Dianjun of the Prince of Wei's Marriage Office.
Haha, don’t think about it without thinking about it. How can Li Shimin’s beloved son not have a few ruthless characters around him?
Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Marriage Events Still Standing By and Watching!
He Gan Chengji was similar and was frightened away by Dian Jun.
There is a huge gap between the gangster tactics and serious military fighting.
When Li Tai tried the case, he actually had the style of a Calabash Officer in judging the Calabash case. He couldn't stand the Yintan Ranger because there was too much dirty information. From time to time, ordinary people came to court to express their grievances and accuse the Hidden Pool Ranger.
Well, this kind of approach is similar to a public trial. You don't even have to look for evidence. It's so easy.
With a stroke of his pen, Li Tai sentenced him to exile and sent him to Nazhi County in Yizhou.
Li Tai can be said to be the most outstanding person in the geography of the Tang Dynasty, and he certainly knows Yizhou well.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Shi Wannian, the lord of Yiwu city who was originally subordinate to the Turks, led seven cities to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty and established it as Xiazhou Xiyizhou. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was changed to Yizhou and governed three counties of Yiwu, Rouyuan and Nazhi, with a household of 1,300
One hundred and thirty-two, mouth six thousand seven hundred and seventy-eight.
To the northwest of Yizhou is the city of Futu, the Khan of the Western Turks, and to the west is the increasingly arrogant Gaochang Kingdom. Gaochang still comes to provoke them from time to time, making life very difficult.
Of course, Illinois is not without its sweetness. At least its melons are very good, which are called cantaloupes in later generations.
As for the so-and-so wine shop who instigated the Yintan Ranger, I'm sorry, they have done too much, and they directly dealt with a scapegoat to answer the question, what else do you want?
Things in the world are never black and white. People who wear straw sandals often go out and those who wear leather boots go away.
Li Tai really wanted to be honest and honest, but this Khotan white jade flying sky is so attractive that Princess Yan Wan will definitely like it.
Anyway, after taking care of the Yintan Ranger, he was worthy of Fan Zheng.
…
Fan Zheng was not surprised by this.
If the world was so clean, Fan Zheng would wonder if he was dreaming.
"Brother Xiangli, don't think too much, as long as the results come out."
Fan Zheng in turn persuaded Xiangli Qian.
So what if you know more?
Are the forces behind it within reach of Fan Zheng?
Since I don't have the ability, I can only put it aside, thinking too much will give me a headache.
"If you really feel sorry for yourself, teach me the stick technique?"
Then, Fan Zheng began to regret it.
Xiangli Gan is such an honest person, even the most basic zama has Fan Zheng do it for half an hour every day, it's so refreshing!
Yuan Luan felt vaguely distressed, but Fan Laoshi laughed.
If Fan Zheng was willing to endure this hardship, who would it be that Xiangli Gan would teach him?
It is not without reason that passing on from son to daughter can easily lead to the loss of unique skills.
You can learn to be stubborn from Aye, but you can't learn from others. This is human nature.
